HARVARD INSIDE-OUT 



That there's President Lowell. Joe 
says he's jest started a finishin' school 
fur manly boys, down by the Charles 
river. I shud think it'd interfere with 
the college a whole lot. Joe says he 's a 
mighty fine man, though. 



Albert Bushnell Hart. He writes 
fer the papers, and he's got a powerful 
reputation. Joe says he's slept through 
two years with him, an' he kinnot rec- 
ommend him too highly. 



Dean Briggs, that is. I ast Joe what 
job he had, and Joe says, ''First Gentle- 
man of the University," but I don't 
believe that's a reg'lur job. When Joe 
come back home after he took Dean 
Briggs' English course, he talked awful 
high-toned. Once't he heard me say, 
''I won't," an' he says, ''You poor boob, 
that ain't right. You mean 'I 
shan't. " 



This here's Dean Hurlbut. Joe told 
pa that he'd been in a position to know 
him, and that he 'd taken a lot o ' trouble 
to let the Dean see his better side. Pa 
said he bet it took the Dean a lot o' 
trouble to see it, too. 



Perfessor Carver, that teaches rural 
sociology. He's awful sarcastic. Joe 
says he give a wonderful lecture, once 't, 
where he denoimced people that makes 
their livin' by talkin'. It was a mighty 
fine talk, Joe says. 



Percy Haughton, that is. There's a 
place named Yale College somewheres 
up-state where they get uf) scrub teams 
to play against Harvard, an' he's the 
fella that gets Harvard ready for 'em. 
Joe says they wont make no Belgium 
out o' Soldiers Field while Haughton's 
around, nor ennything anywheres like it. 



This here's a mucker. There alius 
hoUerin' ^'Scramble, mister," as though 
they expected somebody to throw 'em 
some money. I guess somebody did, 
once upon a time. When they grow up 
they git to be Harvard Square students. 



That there's G. W. Cram. Don't he 
look fierce. He ain't at all, though. 
Joe knows him awful well, euz their 
work has brought them together so 
much. He says Cram gits his vote evry 
time. 



That's Barrett Wendell. Don't he 
look English, though. He was in Eng- 
land once't, Joe claims, in Westminster 
Abbey, and a tourist come up to him 
and says, ^^ Pardon me, can you tell me 
where Longfellow's tomb is?" and Bar- 
rett says kinda haughty-like, "Isly good 
man, ' ' he says, ' ' who 's Longfellow ? ' ' 



That's a section man. He's all 
wrapped up in hisself, tryin' to decide 
whether to raise a grade to an E plus. 
He'll settle it pretty soon by flippin' a 
penny, but he likes to think about it 
beforehand, he's so conscientious. 



That's Prof. Wiener. He gives 
courses on Tolstoi, the noted Russian 
anarchist. Joe took the course and he 
liked it fine, but he says, ^' Thank the 
Lord,'' he says, ^Hhat it's a whole lot 
more Wiener than it is Tolstoi." 



That's Prof. Coolidge, the histry 
teacher. Joe got him just when he wnz 
noticin' how much he looked like Napo- 
leon. It's astonishin', ain't it, how 
much these great men look like each 
other. 



That's Hugo Miinsterberg. He's in 
competition with A. B. Hart for pub- 
licity. Jest now Hart's ahead by about 
three hunderd lines, but Hugo's got an 
article on the ^^ Psychic Significance of 
Charlie Chaplin" fer the next Cosmo- 
politan that'll put him way in the lead. 



That 's Miinro. the guvrerment teach- 
er. He's the only perfessor the fellas 
take notes on, fer he outlines his lec- 
tui'es and makes 'em so simple. Joe 
says he's the most progressive stand- 
patter he's ever listened to. 



\ ' * / 

















This here's a Harvard Square stu- 
dent. I think he looks more like a reel 
college man than Joe does. Joe says 
he's sorry he couldn't get his pitcher 
the day o' the Yale game when he had 
his arm band on. 



That there's Prof. Nolen. The 
students all call him the Widow. Joe 
says he owes more to him for his educa- 
tion than any other man in college. Joe 
ain't never told me what he teaches. 



Perfessor Kittredge. Joe snapped 
the camera just when somebody in 
English 2 ast him if Bacon really wrote 
Shakespeare. Don't he look amused, 
though. 



Perfessor Spaulding, the music 
teacher, playin' the pianna. After Joe 
took some musical courses he come 
home and ast the Baptist organist what 
he thought about Bach and he says he 
always liked Lager better. 



That^s John, the Yard cop. Joe says 
his job is to go round winter mornings 
in the Yard and pull the frozen corpses 
out o' the rooms, so's the goodies kin 
clean up. Jest some of Joe's foolish- 
ness. 



This is Prof. Bernbamn, the noted 
English critic. He made a bet in 1896 
that if Bryan wasn't elected, he'd raise 
a beard. Since then he's been doin' 
his best to pay the bet.
